Dear Health Officer,
Are you getting used to your new title or are you a
seasoned Health Officer looking to brush up on a few
things? In either case, you are the chief executive officer of
a local public health agency and are integral to local public
health. You are responsible for maintaining, protecting, and
promoting the health of the population in the jurisdiction of
your agency. Your duties include, evaluating health
problems, planning appropriate activities to address these
health problems, developing necessary budgets to finance
these activities, and directing staff to carry out these
activities efficiently and economically. Most of your
activities must be in accordance with accepted policies and
practices defined by the New Jersey Department of Health
in New Jersey Administrative Code 8:52, Public Health
Practice Standards of Performance for Local Boards of
Health in New Jersey.
The purpose of this Health Officer Orientation Packet
(HOOP) is to provide you with links to resources that will
help you with various administrative aspects of your job.
Some are national, while others are specific to New Jersey.
The table of contents shows you how they are grouped.
You can also find items by looking in the index.
Please be aware that this list is current as of the date of the
release of this packet. We’re counting on you to let us know
of any dead links or documents that cannot be found. We
also would like you to let us know of new information that
should be added. To share your feedback, complete the
brief, 5-question online HOOP Survey.
Thank you for using this document and good luck in your
role as a Health Officer!
Sincerely, Office of Local Public Health (OLPH) New Jersey Department of Health Tel: (609) 292 - 4993 Fax: (609) 292 - 4997

About this Document… By reading me first you will save a lot of time!
The HOOP Project:
The Health Officer Orientation Packet (HOOP) has been a joint
effort of the Office of Local Public Health (OLPH) in the New
Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) and an external advisory
committee. The advisory committee, known as the HOOP Group,
was equally composed of experienced and novice health officers.
The packet has been reviewed by non-HOOP Group members
who were either novice licensed health officers or individuals
who are eligible for the exam but have not yet taken it.
While the HOOP is primarily a resource packet for newly
appointed health officers, it also serves as a reference for
seasoned health officers and local public health employees in
leadership or managerial positions. The resources in the HOOP
help provide the administrative support that novice health
officers feel is lacking.
HOOP Resources:
The HOOP contains URLs, for resources that were carefully
selected and approved by the HOOP Group. All underlined
words/statements have a URL embedded that will take you to
the selected online resource. The URLs linked in this resource
guide were active at the time the guide was released. If you
encounter a dead URL link, please do not hesitate to let us know
so we can correct the listing. In the meantime, visit the home
page of the source of the link. From there, attempt to search the
website for the specific topic or document listed in the HOOP.
Many of the URLs provided are linked to the home page of an
organization, association, group, or governmental agency, so you
can explore their other resources and services. Please note that
some resources are listed more than once as their content falls
into multiple categories.
HOOP Organization:
The HOOP is organized into four sections: (A) Public Health, (B)
Leadership, (C) Management, and (D) Resources. Each section is
sub-divided into subsections labeled A-1…, B-1…, C-1…, D-1…
To navigate the HOOP from the table of contents, you need an
Internet connection. Then simply press the “Ctrl” key on your
keyboard and click on the underlined section or subsection label
in the HOOP that you are interested in viewing and you will be
redirected there. Many sub-sections will have national and New
Jersey specific categories. Resources in the national category are
not specific to New Jersey, while resources in the New Jersey
category are directly applicable to the practice of public health in
New Jersey.
This is the very first edition of the HOOP, so please excuse us for
any glitches. We are interested in your input and suggestions for
future versions of this resource packet.

First Steps… Sign up!
Public health officials utilize integrated information systems to
protect the health of the population. Changes in how information
is shared and received have improved how health officials
address issues of concern. As a local health official, you will need
to use information systems to protect, promote, and maintain the
health of your population. It is imperative that you set up and
maintain an account with these five systems: CDRSS,
Hippocrates, NJLINCS, NJLMN, and Redbook.
Communicable Disease Reporting and Surveillance System
(CDRSS) is a secure, web-enabled, electronic disease reporting
system available to all local health departments and acute care
hospitals in New Jersey. The system facilitates the real-time
reporting and investigation of communicable diseases, 24 hours
per day, 7 days per week. CDRSS is a patient-centric system that
is able to track multiple instances of various diseases for a
person. In addition to detailed case management (including
patient demographics, disease signs, symptoms and risk factors,
laboratory data, and medical follow-up), it provides the ability to
perform outbreak management and contact tracing for detailed
investigations, and surveillance for notifiable communicable
diseases. Updated information in each case, once submitted to
the CDRSS, is instantly accessible to all public health partners
working on the specific case or outbreak. This helps all
participants track the progress of the investigation. Users include
state and local health department staff (public health nurses,
epidemiologists, health officers, and clerical and administrative
support staff), hospital staff (infection preventionists and
laboratorians), and commercial laboratory staff. Users are
granted access on a need to know basis. As per N.J.A.C. 8:57,
health officers are to be notified of any reports of reportable
communicable diseases within their own jurisdictions and
perform the appropriate investigations. If they receive reports
that are not within their jurisdiction, they are required to notify
the health officer of the appropriate local health department. As
a result, health officers and their staff need access to the CDRSS.
New users must be trained by a trained user and sign a user
agreement before being granted access to the CDRSS. Requests
for access and training should be directed to
Hippocrates is an integrated application for capturing,
managing, displaying and disseminating health information.
By integrating real-time and static information, Hippocrates
supports users in the preparation for, response to, and recovery
from natural and man-made health threats and emergencies.
In addition, the Hippocrates website hosts Redbook, the
emergency after hours contact directory, and the New Jersey
Local Health Report (LHR). The LHR annually collects local
health department data, ranging from finances and staffing to
public health and safety activities. The information is utilized to
highlight statewide public health activities, determine public
health practice trends, and identify factors affecting public
health. The Board of Health Registry is a form collected within
the LHR. The LHR and the Board of Health Registry are both
online electronic data collection systems. Requests for a
Hippocrates account and authorization for access to the Redbook
and the New Jersey Local Health Report should be sent to
6
New Jersey Local Information Network and Communications
System (NJLINCS) is an Internet based system, administered by
NJDOH that facilitates the provision of secure, reliable
information and data exchange among public health
professionals, health care providers, emergency responders, and
community organizations.
To request an account, which includes a NJLINCS email address,
visit http://www.njlincs.net/ and click on the “Request New
Account” tab on the lower left-hand side of the page. Your
professional staff should also request accounts.
New Jersey Learning Management Network (NJLMN) is an
online resource for public health continuing education courses
for New Jersey's public health, safety, and emergency
preparedness workforces. NJLMN tracks courses taken to fulfill
the continuing education hours required to renew
licenses/certifications for Health Officers (HOs), Registered
Environmental Health Specialists (REHSs), Public Health Nurses,
and Certified Health Education Specialists (CHESs). NJLMN has a
course catalogue from which you can select online or in-person
courses that provide continuing education hours. It is also where
the HO and REHS licenses are renewed. Visit
https://njlmn.njlincs.net/ and click “create an account” to create
your NJLMN account.
Redbook is the secure, web-based registry of local health
department emergency contact information that provides both
business hour and non-business hour listings for the Health
Officer and, at a minimum, three alternates. It is located on the
Hippocrates – Emergency Preparedness and Response System
website. In addition, it contains fields to record contact
information for a Relief or On-Call Health Officer for those times
when the Health Officer is unavailable for emergency response.
It is imperative that the contact information for your local health
department is kept current in Redbook. A public health
emergency can happen at any time, necessitating the need for a
contact person regardless of the day or time. Requests for
authorization for access or to edit the Redbook for your
jurisdiction should be sent to [email protected].
Sign up… Maybe Depending on your role within your local public health agency,
you may also need to create and maintain an account with the
information systems listed below: EpiCenter, LeadTrax, and
NJIIS.
EpiCenter is the syndromic surveillance data system used in
New Jersey. It was developed by Health Monitoring Systems, Inc.
(HMS) and collects real-time data from existing emergency
department information systems. EpiCenter provides ongoing
analysis and alert email functions to NJDOH, hospital liaisons,
and local public health partners with interest in surveillance via
secure online access.
Hospital emergency departments in New Jersey provide de-
identified registration data to NJDOH, including the chief
complaint for the visit, which is used for syndromic surveillance
in the state. Syndromic surveillance is the surveillance
(collection and analysis) of health data about a clinical syndrome
7
that has a significant impact on public health, which is then used
to drive decisions about health policy and health education. The
term applies to surveillance of populations vs. surveillance on
individuals for case finding.
With 78 of 80 emergency departments participating in
EpiCenter, the system provides an important statewide
capability for surveillance of emerging diseases as well as
bioterrorist threats and other potential public health issues in
New Jersey. In addition to infectious disease surveillance, the
system monitors for heat-related illness increases and chemical
exposures.
Unexpected patterns of illness or injury create an "anomaly" in
the system and EpiCenter sends an alert email notification to
appropriate state and local public health personnel. NJDOH
regional epidemiologists work with local health departments and
facilities to investigate anomalies of infectious disease interest
while environmental epidemiologists in the Environmental and
Occupational Health Program investigate the heat-related illness
and chemical exposure anomalies.
It is recommended that local health departments have staff with
access to and familiarity with the system. While investigations
are led by regional epidemiologists, the system may be of use
locally for reporting ED visit totals and monitoring ongoing
emergency department activity for general patterns (e.g.,
seasonal flu, norovirus) or during times of heightened
awareness, such as with Ebola. Training is available once user
access is established. More information on EpiCenter can be
found at: http://www.hmsinc.com/service/epicenter.html. For
questions related to EpiCenter and syndromic surveillance in
New Jersey or your jurisdiction, or to request access to the
system, contact the surveillance staff in the Infectious and
Zoonotic Disease Program (IZDP) at (609) 826-5964.
LeadTrax, the Childhood Lead Information Database, is a
surveillance system administered by the Child and Adolescent
Health Program within the Division of Family Health Services.
LeadTrax is used by the NJDOH to record from laboratories all
blood lead results on children (less than 17 years of age) and to
send notifications of subsequent cases under N.J.A.C. 8:51 to local
health departments for public health intervention. It is used by
authorized nurse case managers and environmental inspectors
(NJDOH licensed lead inspectors/risk assessors) in local health
departments to document their childhood elevated blood lead
levels case activities. Other authorized local users include health
officers, supervisors of nurse case managers and environmental
investigators, and designated support staff for data entry. To
register for the face-to-face, half-day training go to the New
Jersey Learning Management System and search for "LeadTrax".
Questions can be directed to 609-292-5666 or
New Jersey Immunization Information System (NJIIS) is the
official statewide, web-based registry designed to capture all
immunizations given in New Jersey. NJIIS provides patients,
health care providers, schools, and child care facilities timely
access to patient immunization records. It consolidates
immunization information from multiple providers into one
record to provide a more accurate immunization assessment. In
addition, the registry can produce a patient’s official
immunization record and helps health care providers and local
8
health departments to assess immunization coverage and
identify areas of need. For health care practitioners (HCPs), there
is one more very important reason to enroll in NJIIS. A HCP who
immunizes children less than seven (7) years of age is required
by State regulation to enroll as an authorized user of NJIIS and
report vaccinations to NJIIS. Mandatory participation is
stipulated in New Jersey Administrative Code 8:57. Health
officers can use NJIIS to assess immunization coverage in their
jurisdiction. They can also encourage providers in their
jurisdiction to sign up for NJIIS. To learn more about NJIIS and
for training opportunities, please visit
https://njiis.nj.gov/njiis/index.htm.
System for Administrating Grants Electronically (SAGE) is the
State of New Jersey’s grant management system comprised of
Green SAGE for DCA grants and Blue SAGE for many other state
departments, including NJDOH. Blue SAGE and Green SAGE are
separate. Each requires authorization for access. All county and
municipal employees who want to use Blue SAGE first must
register as a user in Green SAGE. To obtain access, contact your
Agency Authorized Official. For technical assistance with Blue
SAGE, go to http://www.SAGE.nj.gov or the DOH Help Desk at
[email protected] or by calling 609-633-8009. For
technical assistance with Green DCA SAGE, contact the
[email protected] or (609) 292-8134.

Helpful Tips
Be Reachable: Your LHD MUST be reachable 24/7. Maintain mechanisms to support this. Keep your away messages (phone and email) current. Your LHD’s information in the online Redbook should provide three contact people with three contact methods for each. Update the Redbook within 24 hours of any change in personnel or contact information. You also need to make arrangements for Health Officer coverage when you are not available and include it in the Redbook. Check the OLPH Website: Basic information is posted here (nj.gov/health/lh), including some Administrative Advisories. Wise Rules from a Seasoned Health Officer (These do not reflect the views of the New Jersey Department of Health):
1. Protect yourself at all times 2. They are all lying until proven otherwise 3. Do everything you can to prove otherwise 4. It’s ok to know a little about a lot and not a lot about anything because 5. There is always a way to find out more so 6. Hone your investigative skills so you can always find THE answer and not AN answer. 7. Never make it up 8. Document, Document, Document

Section B: Leadership
Much of the increase in the number and quality of years
lived can be attributed to the innovative leaders in public
health, who have established strong public health systems
and infrastructures in the United States. The public health
systems and infrastructures have worked to protect and
promote the health of communities and, collectively, the
Nation. The leadership abilities to act proactively, inspire
others, and promote change have contributed to the sound
practice of public health in the United States. We encourage
you to continue the tradition of great leadership in public
health. In this section you will find resources on New Jersey
Local Boards of Health, emergency preparedness, and
leadership skills.

Section C: Management
The delivery of public health services requires the seamless
integration of skills that rely heavily on administrative
abilities. With dwindling support and resources for public
health, it is important for the public health professional to
harness and effectively use their administrative skills. The
health officer must become a skilled juggler managing
everything from finances to employees to internet security.
In this chapter you will find resources on budgeting &
financial planning, communications, human resources,
informatics, and general management skills.
